Drobo launches 5D Turbo DAS with Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0

Drobo is a company known for supplying storage devices with a leading combination of sophisticated data protection and management features, affordable capacity, and ease-of-use. This week, they announced their latest DAS, the 5D Turbo, featuring Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 to bring faster speeds to power users.

The 5D Turbo is built using Drobo’s own BeyondRAID technology, which adds a layer of virtualisation and additional protection when running a RAID array. It also supports high speed Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 making it a better solution for 4K Thunderbolt displays . The cables provided also come with a DroboCare three year warranty.

The Drobo 5D Turbo comes with 5 drive bays, with support for standard sized hardrives and SSDs, or an mSATA SSD. The device comes with a 128GB mSATA SSD by default, which powers Drobo’s Hot Data Cache technology which keeps a copy of the most frequently accessed data so that it can be accessed even faster when needed.
